Black and white film

In the age where photography is dominantly digital, it is interesting to know that film still has a place in wedding photography. The whole experience of shooting in black and white film, loading it into the film developing tank, pour in the chemicals, washing the film, and finally unreeling the film to reveal the film that you hand processed is priceless.

Although I've stopped doing my own film developing, I personally like to use this medium because of the character and the overall look it gives. In a way, being able to shoot on film is becoming a niche and my clients have been very happy with it.

I normally don't go into equipment discussion, but special mention has to be given to my Leica rangefinder - these tools are really compact and silent, and produces pictures with wonderful tones.

Film grain is still something that digital has yet to surpass.
